INTRODUCTION

With a growing number of studies examining staff opinions on HR processes,


the SHRM field is being challenged to monitor how more information
develops. This paper presents a systematic review of personnel ideas of HR
processes in terms of 1) how they are assessed (such as preamble, mediator, or
outcome), 2) theater theories describing the structure, and 3) the type of HRM
staff opinions that are used in existing research SHRM. The findings show
how the current dispersed methods are scattered about how the views of HRM
staff are tested. In addition, theoretical frameworks that have been used to
support and support staff perspectives on HRM, have been used, indicating
that a single perspective on employees' views on HRM seems unlikely.
Finally, a variety of descriptive and analytical ideas have been used.
Recommendations and methods for future research to gain a broader
understanding of employees' views on HRM are provided.

Using the SHRM process model (Nishii & Wright, 2008), researchers within
the SHRM field explained the process for the development, implementation,
and ideas of HR policies and procedures, from different stakeholders, and how
this applies to organizational performance. An important aspect of this model
is the special attention given to the potential differences between targeted and
improved HR processes by management, actual or applicable HR processes in
line management, and thoughtful HR processes by staff (Nishii & Wright,
2008). Based on the work of Bowen and Ostroff (2004) and Nishii and Wright
(2008), the role of staff in investigating this relationship received growing
attention, namely that 40% of studies over the past four years incorporated
staff views on HR processes. there. to study the relationship between HRM
and performance (Beijer et al., 2019). This has resulted in a variety of thought
models in which staff perceptions of HR processes have been explored (Wang
et al., 2020). This study has shown that employees 'perceptions of HR
processes have an impact on employee behavior, rather than moderate HR
procedures, which indicate the importance of investigating employees'

3
perceptions of HR processes (Den Hartog et al., 2013; Jensen et al.., 2013;
Kehoe & Wright, 2013).

With a growing number of studies examining staff opinions on HR processes,


the SHRM field is being challenged to monitor how to improve collective
understanding. Existing SHRM literature assessed employee perspective on
HRM using different theater angles, which led to the study of a variety of
models that incorporate HRM staff ideas such as preamble, mediator, or
outcome (Beijer et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2020). In addition, there is a lack of
transparency in the ideas used to capture employees' views on HR processes.
This is problematic, as it has been argued that different employee perceptions
of HR processes may have a different relationship to both actual HR methods
and outcomes (Beijer et al., 2019; Boon et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2020). To
date, we do not have a comprehensive overview of how HRM employees
'ideas work as a precursor, mediator, and outcome, theoretical ideas that
represent employees' views on HRM, and the ideas used to evaluate staff
opinions on HR processes. As such, it is important and timely to review
progress and identify areas for improvement in the application of staff
perspective in personnel research.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was tripled. First, we look back and map
out how HRM staff opinions are evaluated (such as preface, mediator, or
outcome) in existing SHRM publications. Second, we identify key theater
frameworks and ideas that promote and support staffing in HRM used in
existing SHRM publications. Third, we analyze how employees' ideas about
HR processes are considered and used in intelligent research. Based on this
review, we look forward to, and provide important ways in which the
application of employee experience in HR processes can contribute to a more
complete understanding of the actual HRM impact on employees and
organizational outcomes.

We are expanding the recent review of HRM staff views (Beijer et al., 2019;
Wang et al., 2020). Beijer et al. (2019) provided an in-depth review of staff

4
considerations of HR processes. Our review builds on, but goes beyond Beijer
et al. (2019), with a focus, not only on the consideration of HRM staff
opinions, but also on how HRM staff ideas can serve as a precursor, mediator,
or outcome in SHRM research, and we formulate a theater ideas used to
explain these constructs in existing HRM research . Second, we build on the
review of Wang et al. (2020) but expand their work by mapping and compiling
documents on how staff ideas for HR processes are considered, what type of
theater ideas used, and how these constructs are measured. On the basis of
this, we formulate recommendations for future research that suggest they are
central to a deeper understanding of how employees perceive HRM.

Below, we first provide an overview of how HRM staff ideas are developed
(such as preamble, mediator, or outcome), drawing from the SHRM process
model (Nishii & Wright, 2008). We then identified and explained in detail the
key theater frameworks that represent and support the vision of staff in HRM
and describe the different types of thinking that have been used in existing
SHRM research. Next, we review the existing SHRM literature for these three
sections and present the compilation of our findings. Finally, we offer
recommendations for future research on employee feedback on HRM.

EMPLOYEE PERCEPTIONS OF HRM AS AN ANTECEDENT,


MEDIATOR, OR OUTCOME:

Nishii and Wright (2008) developed a SHRM process framework to open the
link between HRM and performance to illuminate processes where HR actions
affect organizational performance (Jiang et al., 2013). The beginning of the
SHRM process model is the concept of diversity. The model differentiates
between HR processes such as targeted HR processes, i.e. paper organization
processes, paper-based or actual processes used by line managers, and HR
processes as adopted by staff (Nishii & Wright, 2008). With regard to staff

5
perceptions regarding HR processes, the SHRM process model suggests that
such views may differ from HR practices implemented in line management.

According to the SHRM process framework, employee feedback on HRM can


serve as a prelude, mediator, or outcome variable. That is, employees'
perceptions of HRM are included as a precursor to predict employee
responses, such as attitudes and behaviors of employees (Liao et al., 2009). In
addition, staff opinions on HRM are included as a mediator in the SHRM
process framework. Specifically, the SHRM process framework argues that
the way managers use HR processes, influences how employees evaluate (i.e.
actual compared to the imaginary HRM). Therefore, it has been argued that
employees' views on HRM serve as a means of mediating the relationship
between HRM limited management and employee attitudes and behaviors
(Nishii & Wright, 2008). Finally, staff perceptions about HRM may also be
seen as the variability of the result predicted by actual HR processes.

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES THAT EXPLAIN THE EMPLOYEE
PERSPECTIVE ON HRM:

Important theater ideas that promote and support the workforce of HRM are
now under discussion. We divided the theater ideas into three categories based
on their focus. The first set of theater ideas focused on the interpersonal
relationships between the individual and the organization. These ideas stem
from the exchange relationship between the organization and the employee,
and focus on the idea that organizations provide incentives (i.e. HR
procedures) to their employees and that based on how employees perceive
these incentives, they contribute to the organization (Takeuchi et al., 2007).
Second, a set of theoretical theories based on how an organization
communicates with its employees is evident. These theater ideas highlight the
high-level focus from organizations to their staff. Finally, a number of theater
theories focused on defining the welfare of employees are based on
occupational health science literature. These theater ideas focus on the impact
HR processes have on individual well-being and clearly consider the potential
negative effects of HRM on employee health (Jackson et al., 2014; Jiang et al.,
2013). An overview of theoretical ideas in each of the three categories can be
found in Figure 1.

HRM.

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES FROM AN EXCHANGE


RELATIONSHIP PERSPECTIVE

The Social Exchange Theory (hereinafter referred to as the SET) provides a


framework for understanding the quality of trade relations at the individual
level and at the organizational level (Blau, 1964). The practice of revenge
within these exchanges is central to this view. From this perspective, social
exchanges can be seen as voluntary. These actions can be attributed to the way
an organization treats its employees (Gould-Williams & Davies, 2005). Based
on the way the organization treats its employees, it is said that benefit workers
feel the need to respond differently (Blau, 1964). Especially with regard to HR
processes, SET is useful in explaining how HR actions can motivate

8
employees, as the exchange of resources and benefits shapes public relations
(Jiang, 2016; Jiang & Li, 2018; Lepak et al., 2012); 2018).

A psychological contract is a form of interpersonal relationship between


employer and employee, representing beliefs, informal commitment and
existing ideas between employer and employee (Rousseau, 1989). A mental
contract is a relationship between employer and employee where both parties
do not explain each other's expectations (Rousseau, 1989). A set of obligations
and promises are represented in this contract. In addition, the psychological
contract states that these commitments and promises made between the two
parties are actually fulfilled (Lepak et al., 2012; Rousseau, 1989).

Closely related to the ideas of social exchange, violations and expectations, is


the theory of equality (Adams, 1965). This theory is used to evaluate fairness
and does not focus too much on the results themselves but rather on whether
the results are considered fair (Lepak et al., 2012). In order to determine the
degree to which a result is considered fair, one considers the value of the input
and the results. This measure provides the employee with information about
equality or inequality (Lepak et al., 2012).

Man's equality with nature (P-E) focuses on the similarities between man and
certain elements from space (Kristof-Brown et al., 2005). Examples of
personal characteristics are the needs, values, and goals that a person has. On
the other hand, factors from the environment include internal and external
rewards, job requirements, and cultural values, among others (Kristof-Brown
et al., 2005). Studies have shown that harmonization between individuals and
communities leads to individual and organizational benefits, and has a positive
effect on employees' attitudes and behavior (Boon et al., 2011; Kristof-Brown
et al., 2005; Lepak et al., 2012).

9
THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES THAT FOCUS ON
ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION

In 2004, Bowen and Ostroff presented a framework outlining how the HR


process can encourage employees to adopt the desired behavior and ultimately
contribute to achieving organizational performance, also called HRM system
capabilities. This image builds on Kelley's characteristic theory (1967), which
aims to clarify how the cause is thought to be the cause. These symptoms are
people's beliefs about the motivations for success and failure that occur and
that affect their expectations and behavior (Martinko et al., 2007). Based on
attribution theory, a robust HRM system involves having employees
experience a high HRM system with diversity, consistency and consistency
(Bowen & Ostroff, 2004). First, the degree to which HR processes are easy to
differentiate, so as not to confuse, have legal authority, and people see them as
important in an important purpose, is called diversity (Bowen & Ostroff, 2004;
Lepak & Boswell, 2012). Second, consistency refers to the achievement of the
impact of HR processes over time (Kelley, 1967). Finally, consensus is about
co-ordination between the senders of HR-transmitted messages (i.e. the
agreement between HR departments and line managers) and is about the
fairness of the HRM system (Bowen & Ostroff, 2004).

The structure of HR annotations is based on the concept of social attribution


(Fiske & Taylor, 1991). According to this theory, people value social status
differently and based on how they interpret this, they respond differently to the
attitudes and behaviors expressed (Fiske & Taylor, 1991; Nishii et al., 2008).
The reasons why managers adopt HR procedures are called HR attributions
(Nishii et al., 2008). Related to employees' perceptions of HR processes,
research has shown that employees have different qualifications regarding the
reasons why HR procedures are performed in organizations (Hewett et al.,
2018; Shantz et al., 2016; Van De Voorde & Beijing, 2015).

10
The process of understanding communication and the environment is
understood through the lens of social information processing theory (Salancik
& Pfeffer, 1978). This view supports the view that the social environment in
which workers work affects their attitudes toward organizations (Jiang & Li,
2018; Takeuchi et al., 2009). According to this view, the social environment
creates diversity in individual perceptions of work characteristics and these
experiences influence a person's attitude and behavior. This view is also
reflected in the power of the HRM system, as the interpretation of the HR
system influences the consensus of all employees (Bowen & Ostroff, 2004;
Wang et al., 2020). Finally, a related theory that focuses on organizational
communication to employees, by sending signals to employees, is a signing
theory (Spence, 2002). According to this view, the HR processes offered by
the organization affect the way employees perceive HR processes, due to the
criteria used by management (Wang et al., 2020).

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES FROM AN OCCUPATIONAL


HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

The third category of theater ideas focuses on defining the well-being of


employees. Taken from the demand management model (D-CM) (Karasek,
1979) and the job requirements model (JD-R) (Demerouti et al., 2001) HRM
Specialists (Jackson et al., 2014; Peccei et al.., 2013 ; Van de Voorde &
Boxall, 2014) have begun translating HR processes through job requirements
and resources. Job demands, such as heavy workload and emotional needs, can
be attributed to reduced employee well-being (Bakker et al., 2004). Work
resources are components of the work that contribute to the work objectives of
employees and can prevent the negative social consequences of job
requirements (Bakker et al., 2004). These resources can be available at
different levels, such as organizational level (e.g. job security), community
relations level (e.g. gaining co-operative support), job level (e.g. job clarity)
and job level (e.g. independence). at work) (Bakker et al., 2004).

11
In line with the D-CM and JD-R models, resource savings (COR) theory
focuses on investment, development and protection of resources. The basic
premise of this theory is that people are encouraged to maintain and acquire
new resources, as loss of resources can lead to higher levels of stress
(Halbesleben et al., 2014). According to Hobfoll (1989), resources are defined
as “objects, personal characteristics, circumstances, or strengths that are
valued individually” (p. 516). Examples of work resources are public,
personal, visual or dynamic resources, such as HR procedures (Hobfoll, 1989).
Following the assumptions of the JD-R model and COR theory, the HR
processes used can be identified as needs and / or resources by employees
(Conway et al., 2016; Peccei et al., 2013) and which may have adverse effects
on employee well-being (Jackson et al., 2014; Jiang et al., 2013).

12
DESCRIPTIVE VERSUS EVALUATIVE CONCEPTUALIZATIONS
OF EMPLOYEE PERCEPTIONS OF HRM

In the study of staff opinions on HR processes, a large number of variants


exist in the type of opinion being investigated. Clearly, the consideration of
staff opinions regarding HR processes is actually constructive, and how these
are measured, varies greatly from one study to the next (Beijer et al., 2019;
Boon et al., 2019). For example, some studies investigate the hypothetical
findings of HR processes, describing the HR processes offered to employees
they perceive in their workplace (e.g. Den Hartog et al., 2013). Other studies
assess employees' satisfaction with HR procedures (e.g. Kinnie et al., 2005),
support for HR procedures (Knies & Leisink, 2014), or the effectiveness of
HR procedures (Chang, 2005). The study concludes that “visual idiosyncrasy
exists in the estimates of HR hypothetical processes, which is accompanied by
a lack of transparency in how these measures are often reported in existing
studies” (Beijer et al., 2019, p. 1).

Therefore, Beijer et al. (2019) suggests that staff opinions on HR processes


should be divided into two types of perspectives: descriptive and critical ideas
of HR processes. Descriptive ideas are staff reports of actual HR processes
that exist or the extent to which they are exposed to HR processes. Evaluation
measures refer to the positive or negative evaluation of the HR processes that
employees are exposed to (Beijer et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2020). In addition,
a study by Boon et al. (2019) distinguished between three different types of
employee perceptions of HR processes by level: collective employee
perceptions (at the organizational or group level), personnel ideas (at the
individual level), and employees' attitudes toward the personnel system. (at the
individual level). They argue that the (collective) ideas of employees in the
HR system should focus on descriptive measures of HR performance ideas,
while employees' attitudes toward the HR system should be investigated using
assessment methods (Boon et al., 2019). Following Beijer et al. (2019) and
Boon et al. (2019), we are mapping the type of thinking (descriptive versus

13
experimental) investigated in the current SHRM study to date, which includes
the extent to which the views of HRM staff are analyzed.

SCOPE OF THE SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

A systematic literature search was conducted that included research studies


examining the relationship between hypothetical HRM and outcomes,
published from 2000 to May 2019 in 11 international refereeing journals in
dedicated HRM, psychological and management journals. These journals
include the Academy of Management Journal, Human Relations, Human
Resource Management, Human Resource Management Journal, International
Journal of Human Resource Management, Journal of Applied Psychology,
Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, Journal of
Organizational Psychology, Personnel Psychology , and Staff Reviews. The
year 2000 was chosen as the first year of analysis because, during this time,
staff opinion on HR processes began to receive more attention in research
(Visitor, 1999; Ostroff & Bowen, 2000).

The study had to meet the following criteria in order to be included in the
review. First, we focus on research that integrates multiple HR processes, as
HRM strategic research has argued that the HR system or multiple HR
processes have a stronger impact on outcomes compared to a single HR
practice (Combs et al., 2006). In fact, this selection process means that we
focus on research that attempts to capture the views of employees across the
entire HR process at once, thus avoiding the literature of one practice.
Therefore, we selected studies that investigated a combination of HR
processes that improve employee skills (eg training and development),
motivation (e.g. performance management and compensation), and gave them
the opportunity to participate (communication and information sharing,
participation.) (Appelbaum et al. , 2000). The included HR procedures are also
among the most widely read HR procedures in SHRM literature (Boselie et al.,
2005). Second, the study should have focused on follow-up employee ideas,

14
which are available to measure the scale of HR processes, or the need to
include a full scale scale, in order to be able to more accurately assess the
conceptual framework and actions used. Thirdly, in order to review the theater
ideas and the ideas used, the studies were included only when referring to the
theater concept which explained the ideas of the HRM staff at least in detail.
Fourth, in order to be able to evaluate and compare the different
considerations and standards of staff opinions of HR processes, the content of
the item is required to operate at the HR processes level. Therefore, it has been
argued that employees are better able to answer questions based on their
experience at the HR practice level, rather than at the HRM system level
(Arthur & Boyles, 2007). Accordingly, studies related to the evaluation of the
entire HRM system (e.g. HRM system capabilities) were not included (e.g.
Alfes et al., 2019). Finally, only subjects that were selected that incorporated
the views of staff on HR processes were selected as a focused construction.
Therefore, studies examining staff perceptions of HR processes such as
modeling variance for example (e.g. Trevor & Nyberg, 2008) were not
included.

Research selection was done independently of the original author, while


interacting extensively with other authors during the process. In terms of
search terms, the first author read all the excerpts from the selected article in
11 journals. Initially, 145 abstract-based studies were obtained. After the
essays were read in full, 100 subjects were not included because they did not
meet (one) selection criteria. In total, 45 studies that used HR process staff
ideas were finally included in the review. An overview of the selection process
can be found in Figure 2. The second and third authors have written half of the
essays. After discussing a few differences in coding between the three
partners, they were able to come to an agreement.

INTEGRATING THE CONCEPTUALIZATIONS AND HOW
EMPLOYEE PERCEPTIONS OF HRM ARE EXAMINED

Next, we examine how HRM staff opinions are shaped in relation to whether

the study has assessed HRM staff opinions as a precursor, mediator, or

outcome in their research. As can be seen in Table 4, a very high number of

subjects (16) incorporated a mixture of descriptive and analytical ideas into

their research, in which they examined the views of HRM staff as a predictor

of change. Next, experimental thinking is widely used when HRM staff

opinions are investigated as predictive variables. It is interesting to note that

the clear consideration of staff opinions on HRM has not been evaluated as a

variance of the outcome. Additionally, when it comes to descriptive thinking,

no study has included this assumption as a link between the limited HRM

management by management and employee or organization results. The

descriptive definition of the ideas of HRM staff is used only when this

construct is read as a prediction variant.

Integrating theoretical perspectives and

conceptualizations of employee perceptions of HRM

Different theater ideas have been used to explain staff ideas about HR

processes. For subjects using descriptive conceptualization, the four subjects

rely on the SHRM process model. One study used social exchange theory to

explain employees' perceptions of the existence or availability of HR

processes. Three studies take into account occupational health and use the

17
work-resources model (Demerouti et al., 2001). No study has used the concept

of communication to describe the descriptive type of thinking.

In terms of experimental concepts, seven studies take from the SHRM process

model to define a specific type of test concept. Additionally, research from a

communicative perspective has used HRM system power theory or HRM

theory to investigate experimental concepts, such as staff satisfaction with HR

processes, their psychological evaluation of HR processes, and the relevance

or purpose of HR processes. . In addition, the concept of occupational health is

used in a single study to investigate the experimental concept, based on the

theory of job demand management. Finally, another concept, HR

classification, is used to describe the concept of testing.

Looking at Table 5, the results show that in 25 of the 45 studies, a mixture of

descriptive and critical ideas of HRM staff was used. Theoretical theory that

often uses a mixture of different types of employee perspectives is the

framework of the SHRM process (Nishii & Wright, 2008). In addition, from

an exchange perspective, in five studies, public exchange theory was used to

articulate the views of HRM staff using a descriptive and analytical approach.

In addition, seven studies emerge from a communication perspective to

explain how the social context affects how employees perceive HR processes,

in which a mixture of descriptive and analytical ideas is used. Another theory,

the theory of imaginary action, is used to describe a mixture of ideas. Finally,

it is interesting to note that subjects that use the concept of occupational health

18
do not use a combination of ideas. For example, subjects using the JD-R

model often use very clear concepts.

19
AN INTEGRATION OF THE FINDINGS

When we look at the integration of the three elements in our review, it

becomes clear that due to the different initial points in theoretical theories,

studies apply different ideas and steps, leading to a variety of different ways in

which the ideas of HRM staff have become. tested. Building on the findings of

the review, we think it is very helpful to improve staff perception in HRM in

order to differentiate between the two research lines.

The first series of studies could focus on applying a more formal approach to

HRM staff ideas. This composition is usually descriptive in nature, which is

widely used in studies from health psychology literature. Therefore, these

studies can use only one concept and apply a single theoretical concept

relevant to this field of research, such as the occupational health perspective

(e.g. Jensen et al., 2013; Kilroy et al., 2016). The second series of studies can

use a well-thought-out combination of different ideas. These courses often

take the perspective of exchange or communication, which is often unclear in

the nature of the design and measurement of HRM staff ideas. This series of

studies is best if it takes this well-thought-out combination of ideas into their

research. That is, studies may include a descriptive, psychological, and

behavioral component of HRM staff ideas in their research, using specific

measures. For example with regard to training, it may be asked whether

training I) provided or used by staff, II) whether employees are satisfied with

the training, and (III) whether the training assists employees in performing

20
their duties. The development of data collected in the research ideas of HRM

staff can be better monitored by following these two research lines.

LIMITATIONS

Although coding the content of the item did not cause major problems, coding

theoretical theory and the type of ideas used, it was a challenge to do some

studies. This was because the theater framework was not always clearly stated,

or because the type of thinking investigated by the authors included different

types of categories compared to what was reflected in the thinking of the study

authors. For example, studies reported to investigate a descriptive type of

thinking, while a detailed analysis of the properties of this scale indicate that

experimental ideas are also included. In order to overcome the ambiguity in

coding, studies that did not include a clear category in the theory theory used,

were not included. In addition, studies that did not include a full measurement

scale or did not refer to an existing validated scale were also excluded. This

resulted in a large number of studies (57) not included in this review for these

two reasons (e.g. Castanheira & Chambel, 2010; Macky & Boxall, 2007).

Second, systematic literature reviews of energy courses, based on articles

published in 11 journals with international references to dedicated HRM,

psychology journals and managers. We have selected these journals as they

are regarded as top journals in their field, but we note that some of the relevant

articles have been published in other journals and therefore this review is

incomplete (e.g. Paré & Tremblay, 2007).

21
The final limitation was that the courses should have included the ability,

motivation and partial improvement of HR processes in their research. Since

there is no set set of HR processes that are part of the specified categories, our

review included studies that investigated different types of HR processes, and

sometimes included HR processes that were included as additional HR

processes, next to HR processes that fit our definition. . We did not include

any practice books in this review.

PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS

The extent to which the organization's intended HR processes are effectively


implemented by management (line managers) and the way employees perceive
these processes, is a question of great interest to HR employees. In order to
achieve the objectives determined by HR processes, it is important to identify
the factors that affect HR processes and how they affect organizational
performance (Nishii et al., 2008; Nishii & Wright, 2008). This study shows
that employees' perceptions of HR processes are an important predictor of
outcomes such as employee motivation outcomes, employee well-being, and
organizational performance. Therefore, these theories may at least account for
the effectiveness of HR processes that may affect performance (Nishii et al.,
2008). In addition, by systematically investigating the development of staff
ideas for HR processes, this study emphasizes that managers should consider
different types of HR ideas during day-to-day discussions with their
employees and should distinguish between these different types, as they
provide (HR) manager with different types of important information. . In
addition, it may be helpful for management (HRs) to differentiate between
employees' views on HR procedures regarding how employees evaluate HR

22
processes according to what they are offered, or any psychological
phenomena, such as satisfaction with HR procedures. , are caused by HR
processes (including emotional responses). Finally, the way employees think
that their behavior is influenced by such HR processes can contribute to
desirable attitudes and performance that ultimately benefit the organization.
Overall, we believe that both research and practice may be useful in
understanding staff opinions on HR processes and the HR processes described
in this paper.

23
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

 To study the employees opinion towards HR functions in the


organization.
 To offer feasible ways and means to improve the employee
morale and satisfaction in the organization.

24
NEED FOR THE STUDY
People have always been important to organizations, but their
strategic value is growing in today’s knowledge-based industries.
The success of an organization is increasingly dependent on the
knowledge, skills and abilities of the staff, especially as they help
to establish a set of key divisive and organizational skills for
competitors. With the right HR policies and procedures an
organization can hire, develop and operate the best brainstorming
in the marketplace. Healthy and committed employees ensure
increased efficiency and productivity of the organization based on
HR activities considering the importance of the researchers who
conducted the research to know the employee's view of HR
activities in the organization.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH DESIGN:

Generally the research design is of three types, viz, exploratory, descriptive &
casual research design is defined as the specification of methods and
procedures for acquiring the information needed. It is a plan of organization
frame work, for doing the collection of data.

“The research design for this research is descriptive in nature.”


Descriptive study:
Descriptive research studies are those study which are concerned with
describing the characteristics of a particular individual, or a group. In this
research, the researchers must be able to define clearly, what he wants to
measure and must find adequate methods for measuring it along with a clear
cut definition of population he wants to study. The design in such studies must
be rigid and flexible and must focus attention on the following.

1) Formulating the objective of the study.

CHAPTER -2
INDUSTRIAL & COMPANY PROFILE

31
INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
Management consultation grew with the growth of management, as a unique

learning area. One of the first companies to consult with management was

Arthur D. Little Inc., founded in 1886 as a corporation, and later merged in

1909. Although Arthur D. Little later became a general management

consultancy, he was initially specialized in technical research.

With Arthur D. Little focusing on technical research for the first few years, the

first administrative consultancy was initiated by Frederick Winslow Taylor,

who opened in 1893 an independent consultation practice in Philadelphia. His

business card read “Consulting Engineer - Systematizing Shop Management

and Manufacturing Costs a Specialty”. By establishing Scientific

Management, also known as Taylor's method, Frederick Winslow Taylor

developed the first method of organizing work, highlighting the work of many

managing advisors. One of Taylor's first collaborators, Morris Llewellyn

Cooke, for example, opened his own management consultancy in 1905.

Taylor's method was used worldwide until the industry switched to the method

developed by W. Edwards Deming.

The first period of growth in the consulting industry was initiated by the

Glass-Steagall Bank Act in the 1930s, and was driven by the need for

financial, strategic, and organizational advice. [2] From the 1950s onwards

consultation centers not only expanded their operations significantly in the

United States but also opened offices in Europe and later in Asia and South

America. After World War II, dozens of new consulting firms were

established, bringing with them the critical analysis of management and

32
strategic research. The post-war years also saw the application of cybernetics

to management by the Stafford Beer project.

Management consultants companies Stern Stewart, Marakon Associates, and

Alcar pioneered value-based management (VBM), or "value management", in

the 1980s based on Joel Stern's educational work, Drs. Bill Alberts, and

Professor Alfred Rappaport. [6] Other consulting companies including

McKinsey and BCG are developing VBM methods. Number-based

management came to prominence in the late 1980's and 1990's.

The industry experienced significant growth in the 1980s and 1990s, gaining

significant value in terms of total gross domestic product. In 1980 there were

only five consulting companies with more than 1,000 professionals

worldwide, and in the 1990s there were more than thirty companies of this

nature.

The period of significant growth in the early 1980's was driven by the search

for organizational strategies and consultation. The wave of growth in the

1990s was driven by both strategic and technical advice. In the second half of

the 1980's, large accounting firms entered the IT consultation phase. The

companies that then were Big Eight, now Big Four, (Price water house

coopers; KPMG; Ernst & Young; Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu) always offered

advice in addition to their traditional services, but only after the end of years

of the 1980s these activities became very important in relation to each other. in

the growing market for accounting and research. By the mid-1990s these

companies had grown older than those service providers focused on strategy

and business organization. Although three of the four Officials officially

33
separated the separate service lines following Enron's scandal and the

subsequent collapse of Arthur Andersen, they are now back in the negotiating

business. In 2000, Andersen Consulting broke up with Arthur Andersen and

announced their new name: Accenture. The name change came into effect on

1 January 2001 and Accenture is currently the largest firm in the world with a

number of employees. They are publicly traded on the NYSE with the ACN

tag.

The industry collapsed in 2001 before recovering after 2003 and then enjoyed

a period of two-year annual revenue growth until the financial collapse of

2008/9. Since Financial Services and Government are the two largest spenders

on consulting services, the deterioration of the financial system and the

consequent financial deficit has significantly affected the revenue of

consultation. In some markets such as the UK there has been a recession in the

negotiating industry, something that has never happened before and has not

happened since. There has been a steady decline in the growth rate of the

consulting industry over the years, and the current trend in the clear

segregation of management consulting firms. In recent years, corporate

consulting firms have hired top students from Ivy League universities, Rhodes

Scholars, and students from higher MBA programs.

In recent times, firms that represent traditional managers have had to deal with

growing challenges from disruptive online markets aimed at addressing an

increase in the number of independent consulting professionals.

34
Function

Tasks for consulting services are usually divided into eight categories of

activities. Experts can serve as information and knowledge bridges, and

external consultants can provide these integration services more economically

than the customer firms themselves. Counselors can work together

continuously, without significant external pressure, and continuously, with

external pressure. Active consultant communication is primarily aimed at

identifying weak hidden areas and improving performance, while effective

interaction interaction is primarily aimed at solving problems identified by

external stakeholders.

Marvin Bower, McKinsey's longtime director, talked about the benefits of

being without a mentor, that they have a variety of experiences outside of the

client company.

Counselors have specialized skills in activities that may include high cost of

internal integration for clients, such as organizational changes or the use of

information technology. In addition, due to the level of the economy, the focus

of experts and information on collecting information globally and in industry

across the board makes their research less expensive than what clients do.

forms. This must be done within 30 days of the need to register with the

transportation infrastructure costs, meet the costs of increasing population and develop areas

SUGGESTION
• Managers should listen to individual complaints carefully and take action
in a timely manner
• Managers may provide a better compensation package in the event that
employees experience an accident
• Supervisors may offer supervisory follow-up classes but it is
recommended to follow supervisory admission classes and follow-up
follow-up classes.
• Managers should improve the reward system in both aspects of monitoring
and non-compliance. The price-monitoring mechanism instead of flashing
torches, batteries reward non-monitors in the form of impressive headlines
for functions and recognition.
• Managers must bring some changes to the manufacturing department
which include the following approaches such as the establishment of new
equipment infrastructure
• Managers can provide better medical facilities including the provision of
medication and the presence of specialist doctors around the clock and
ambulance stations.
• Managers can improve safety measures such as providing shoes, cap,
gloves and pinafores to employees
• Managers may receive employee loan services including education loans,
personal loans and transportation.
• Managers may take care to provide the best quality food for the staff of the
canteen equally with the managers

CONCLUSION

When it comes to HRM staff opinions that are evaluated as a preamble,


mediator, or result in the various theater ideas used to describe employees'
ideas about HRM, the findings indicate that the SHRM process framework is
the most widely used framework for interpreting HRM staff ideas as a
predictor and mediator, and outcome flexibility ( see Table 3). Next, social
exchange theory is used in six studies to define HRM staff perceptions as a
predictor and mediator in the relationship between HRM limited management
and employee and organizational outcomes. From a communicative point of
view, five studies used the power of the HRM system, one study used HR
theory, and five studies used social theory theory, to explain in studies where
staff opinions on HRM are assessed as predictor and mediator in the
relationship between manager-rated HRM and outcomes. labor and
organizational. From an occupational health perspective, job resource model
and job demand management theory are used to define staff perceptions of HR
processes in courses where HRM is investigated as a designer or mediator.
The purpose of this paper was to systematically investigate studies using staff
ideas for HR processes. Below we discuss our findings and provide related
recommendations 1) how HRM staff opinions can work as a prelude, mediator
and outcome and what needs to be evaluated further, 2) what can be done to
integrate different perspectives to better staff HRM, and 3) that how research
can improve the thinking and performance of HRM staff ideas in the future.
On this basis, we expand the discussion and consider recommendations related
to the integration of the three elements.
The first major findings related to how employees' views on HRM were
assessed, relate to the fact that employee opinions about HRM are heavily
investigated as a prelude to the research included in our review. A limited
number of studies examined pre-HRM staff opinions, and only a small number
of studies investigated HRM staff opinions as variability of results in their
research. This study focuses on the use of HRM by human resource managers
as a precursor to employee HRM ideas. Some of the preconceived notions of

87
HRM staff have received little attention so far. A few exceptions are the Bos-
Nehles and Meijerink (2018) and Vermeeren (2014) studies, in which
employees' views on LMX and leadership change, respectively, were
evaluated as precursors of HRM staff opinions. However, the SHRM process
model argued that the work environment, employees' prior knowledge of HR
processes, and their personalities, also have an impact on how they approach
HR processes (Nishii & Wright, 2008). In addition, recent research has shown
that the HR perceptions of the manager and colleagues and the demographic
differences affect employees' perceptions of HR procedures (Jiang et al.,
2017). Including some of the preceding ones can help to improve our
knowledge of HRM employee perceptions, and especially how different
aspects of how employees perceive HR processes. Therefore the following
recommendations are provided:
